Panaji, April 14: In the backdrop of controversy surrounding Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum over portrayal of Goa, state home minister Ravi Naik has said he would like to watch the movie once it is released.
While responding to a question whether he would like to support ban or favour deletion of some dialogues from the flick, Naik said “I will surely go for the movie. I will watch the movie along with chief secretary Sanjay Srivastava.”
In the background of the controversy, the state government has constituted a committee to watch the movie and make recommendations to the Central Board of Film Certification.
Chief Minister Digambar Kamat had already expressed ‘apprehensions’ that the Bollywood flick may portray Goa in a poor light. Kamat had even dashed a letter to Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry seeking its intervention in the matter.
